Mahmoud Goes Under in Four-Way Pot
Yassin Mahmoud was under the gun and raised to 40,000. Kalle Parkkinen called in the cutoff, Vadzim Godzdanker did so on the button, and Danesh Zargaran defended his big blind.
After Zargaran had checked, Mahmoud continued for 75,000 on the 10♣4♥3♥ flop. Parkkinen called, while the other two players folded.
Mahmoud kept firing on the 4♣ turn, adding 205,000 to the pot. Parkkinen flicked in more calling chips, after which Mahmoud checked the 10♦ river. Parkkinen responded with an all-in, covering Mahmoud's 200,000 chips.
"Okay, let's go," Mahmoud stated after some time in the tank.
He called and revealed A♥Q♦ for an ace-high hero-call, but it was no match against Parkkinen's 10♥8♥. Mahmoud quickly departed the table, becoming one of the final exits of Day 1a.
